Scat-Man

The flames be flyin' hot tonight,

so the horns be heatin' up just right!

 

Skeep-deep-do-bop-bee-bop-do-skeetle-scat-woo-woo, hell-bop-ba-ska-da fra-la-la-la-la-la-la-foo-foo, yous,

look-see-dee-wee-boys doin' da voodoo,

look-see-dee-wee-girls playin' wid hoodoo.

 

Cuz, I'm a scat-man,

it's a fat fact ma'am!

Yeah, I'm a scat-man,

it's a fat fact ma'am.

 

And I dun gives a ****

if there's no reason to the scat-plan.

 

If you come across the fancy bowler hat,

dun be afraid to start stuttering the big skat:

 

Batta-tat-tat looksee-da-flat-uncool-rat

givin' his square-eyed-glare to-the-scat-cats     ~meow~

skee-shee-flyin'-the-sillee like a banshee,

singin' sillee-skee-shee-all-fancee-free -

 

and we putssss on the br(e)ak(e)s

 

just            

like                                                  thissssssss (!)

 

 

      and

                in  h    a         l               e ....

 

 

Go! Go!              GO!

 

Skeep-deep-do-bop -bee- bop-do-skeetle-scat-woo-woo,

hell-bop ba-ska-da fra-la-la-la-la-la-la-foo-foo,

look-see-dee-wee-boys doin' da voodoo,

look-see-dee-wee-girls playin' wid-hoodoo.

 

Yeah, I'm a scat-man,

it's a fact ma'am!                       x2

Yeah, I'm a scat-man,  

it's a fact ma'am.
